The debut full-length album by Kee Avil, a project led by Montréal producer and guitarist Vicky Mettler. Crease is a singular expression of deconstructed electroacoustic postpunk songcraft chiselled minimalist guitar, sinuous low-end electronics, various prepared instruments, a panoply of organic and digital samples creating alternately twitchy and propulsive rhythm, all galvanized with the intimacy of her finely wrought lyricism and vocals. Bound by an outstanding production sensibility throughout, Crease unfolds one oblique earworm hook after another, with compositional innovation anchored to an inscrutable and compelling voice across 10 songs of tremendous and imaginative sonic detail. Alongside her superb austere guitar work, stitched together in electro-industrial, dark-ambient and minimal-techno soundworlds, her voice and lyrics-confidential, hermetic and ineffable-provide an ever-shifting and always captivating through-line. Kee Avil brings a unique sensibility to bear on traditions and conventions of avant-pop, art-rock, electronic and sound-art songwriting, where touchstones range from Scott Walker and Coil to Fiona Apple, (early) PJ Harvey and (later) Juana Molina to Eartheater, Pan Daijing and Smerz-or like Grouper produced by Autechre. 180gLP includes 12Inchx24Inch poster + DL card.
![Afro-Blues Quintet + 1 - New Directions of the Afro Blues Quintet Plus One - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/8d8f0f21-72ff-4237-9408-0337de7282f9.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
The Afro Blues Quintet Plus One was formed in 1963 by leader and vibes player Joseph InchLittle JoeInch DeAguero. The six man band featured saxophonist Jack Fulks, a veteran of Chico Hamilton's band; and pianist Bill Henderson who also played bass, drums, flute and vibes. Henderson had previously played with Terry Gibbs' band. The original drummer was Jim Keltner who went on to become one of the most popular session drummers in pop history. On their classic 1966 album InchNew Directions of the Afro-Blues Quintet Plus One,Inch the lineup was Joe de Aguero on vibes; Jack Fulks on alto sax & flute; Bill Henderson on piano; Michales Davis on timbales & traps; Norman Johnson on bass; and Moses Obligacion on congas. The sound of the band is very reminiscent of the Ramsey Lewis group, with the accent on gospel tinged, R&B flavored soul jazz. The highly collectible album finally makes it's debut in the digital domain. All selections newly remastered.
Vinyl LP pressing. Midwest hardcore outfit Spine return with their follow up to 2018's acclaimed album Faith. This nine song 12Inch entitled L.O.V. sees the band embracing their power violence roots a la Crossed Out and Man Is the Bastard, while still retaining their NYHC influences. The result is Spine's hardest and most focused material to date. This is hardcore the way it was meant to be played... lightning fast, unapologetically hard, and extremely pissed.
